| dc.description.abstract | Uganda should ensure that during contract selection, there is proper bid evaluation, contract capacity and clear communication among the bidders and PPDA. This will enable the bidders to trust the system used during bid selection and the best bidder will always be awarded a contract which will result in to improvement in proper operationalization of the water project. The study sought to establish the relationship between contract selection, contract financing and operational performance among water projects in the South Western Region of Uganda. The study adopted a cross sectional and correlation quantitative design using 48 water projects that were drawn from a population of 55 water projects. The sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan Tables (1970). The data were tested for reliability and validity, analyzed using SPSS version 26 and results presented based on the study objectives. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed positive and significant relationships between contract selection, contract financing and operational performance among water projects which implies that when one variable is improved it leads to improvement of the other. Furthermore, the hierarchical regression analysis indicated that contract selection combined with contract financing have a greater predictive potential on the operational performance (Adj R2 of 0.450). However, it was further revealed that contract selection has a more direct effect on the operational performance based on the individual contribution (R Square Change 0.380). Therefore, it’s worth recommending that the management of water projects in South Western Uganda need to have proper contract financing through having public private partnerships, giving of advance payments and making of progressive payments, this will enable the bidders with capacity and better experience to properly participate in projects and this will in turn enables full operationalization of water projects. Lastly, future researchers should focus on longitudinal study about the subject incorporating qualitative approaches, focusing on other factors that affect water projects in south western Uganda which were not captured in the study to Have more insights on such projects. | |
